(I realize this won't help me stop my TV obsession but it's only a tiny bit about TV anyway.)

Heroes has been awesome lately. Especially last week. But more importantly, did anyone watch last night and see the Spiderman 3 commercial? It was very "blah blah I don't care about MJ blah blah diamond ring whatevs blah blah I care a tiny bit about

Does anyone reading this read X-Men comic books? I am reading Astonishing
X-Men (sole reason for reading = Joss Whedon wrote them) and they mention
some backstory like the Legacy virus and Emma Frost and Sentinels (which I
think I remember from the cartoon back in the day). Do I have any hope at
all at catching up on those things? I thought I might try Wikipedia, but is
it worth it? Also I have only read Vol 1 so shhhhh.

I've given up on most comics, but I'm still reading Astonishing, largely because I think Whedon gets the characters much better than most writers ever have. The Legacy virus storyline was weeeeak, starting out only as an iffy AIDS analogue and later just serving to cull the supporting characters (most notably and inexplicably Moira MacTaggart, but also, as you've figured out, Colossus). The Sentinels and Emma Frost go waaaay the hell back, but both have a newfound relevance in Grant Morrison's run, which was both excellent superheroics and just a bit of mind-trippiness, and upon which Whedon's run strongly revolves

My wife is a big Due South fan, so let me know if you want fic recommendations, or friend her at wordplay. Let me know if you do so that I can make sure she friends you back.

I haven't gotten into Astonishing X-men for that very reason, but am looking forward to Buffy Season 8.
